Specialty polymers are noted for their ability to retain valuable mechanical, thermal, and chemical characteristics when subjected to harsh environments, such as high temperature, high pressure, and corrosive chemicals. This new volume focuses on specialty polymers and polymer-based materials in novel application areas, discussing the synthesis and preparation methods, the materials derived from them, and how they are applied. The volume touches on applications that vary from biomedical and defense to high-performance coatings and smart materials for catalytic, agricultural, environmental, and packaging applications. Chapters explore the characteristic and distinct properties of specialty polymers, such as biodegradability, high performance, smart behaviors, and other distinct characteristics, along with their diverse applications, such as in oil fields, focusing on carbon geo-storage; for agricultural uses of various polymeric nanocomposites; for smart polymeric coatings and adhesives, including edible polymers and their applications in the food packaging industry; in biosensor design; and more.
